What is it with the Democrats and corrupt donors?

Authorities raided the offices of an influential Democratic donor on Friday, prompting accusations by the donor's attorneys that the raid was politically motivated.

The state attorney general's office said it was assisting the Nueces County district attorney in the criminal investigation of Mauricio Celis, 36, who has given money to major Democratic candidates including Hillary Clinton and is the subject of numerous ongoing lawsuits and charges.

And this is unrelated to the earlier charges that were handed down by a grand jury in Nueces County.

The raid was unrelated to Celis' November indictments by a Nueces County grand jury on four charges, including perjury and holding himself out as a lawyer.

And while Celis and his representatives may want to make this into a political vendetta, it isn't -- Carlos Valdez, the prosecutor in Nueces County who is spearheading the investigation and who sought the earlier charges, is a Democrat.

I'm curious -- is "Mauricio Celis" Spanish for "Norman Hsu"?
